7 guests' feedbackBest experience ever.
Top class! Food was very good. Personal service very special.
It was the best memorable stay ever.
MK our guide was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone was inviting, and the staff was genuinely happy to assist and make your stay memorable. The food was phenomenal.
It was an incredible experience. Will definitely visit Kuger Shalati again.
Location and accommodation is stunning. The food was really good too. The only negative was the guide/game drive. Racing between sighting reports, not stopping for nice game on the roadside, not very interested in searching for animals or engaging with guests.
Very professional and go out of their way to make the experience personal and special.
